If you know what Ramadan is, you'll understand this:



Eid al-Fitr is on the first day of the month of Shawwal. Shawwal is the month that follows Ramadan in the calendar of Islam. In Eid al-Fitr people give charity to those in need and celebrate with friends and family.



No one founded it, it's a muslim holiday... basically like Christmas..., can't really ask anyone who found Christmas eh?

Kwanzaa is a African holiday celebrated throughout the world honoring African heritage. From what I know it's a week long, and people light a kinara)(that's like a candelish thingy)... It's celebrated from December 26 to January 1st each year... It was created by Maulana Karenga.

Eid ul-fitr and Kwanzaa have absolutely nothing in common, Eid ul-fitr is a religious holiday, Kwanzaa is not... But, the only possible thing that they could have in common is the fact that they're holidays, and people always get together on holidays right?



Good luck on your paper :)

i've got not got the real info on the proportion scores, yet i comprehend for a actuality that particularly some African human beings do no longer comprehend the background of Kwanzaa. it is unhappy to declare that some under no circumstances heard of Kwansaa. American classic holidays have been the only ingredient taught in faculties, in church homes, and shown throughout national television. It' time for African human beings to bypass to Libraries, e book shops, and African shops and learn concerning the background of Kwanzaa. you would be happy you probably did. placed Kwanzaa available to the country.

You've got the WORST taste in music and would have the WORST taste in entertainment if you liked talentless reality shows! Listen to good music like ICP!
